Join us for this intimate community event at 6:30pm!

It truly is amazing how life can get away from you at times! It feels like just a couple months since we returned from our journey, yet it has been a full year!!! It just doesn’t seem possible.

It is our joy and pleasure to be getting back in touch with all of our Ride Across America and Hearts Up Ranch supporters. After months of preparation, we FINALLY got our first newsletter in the mail last week and clicked send on the email version as well on Monday!

When we arrived at Lonnie and Theresa’s, we still did not know how we were getting from Colorado up to Wyoming. But with the help of Theresa, the Cowboy Church, Susan who hosted us for part of our first Thanksgiving on the trail, and several other locals, we eventually were offered a ride. …. whom we had never met, offered to drive us all the way

Our first drivers were Danny and Margaret a husband and wife from Elberon Virginia. He was the one who brought us a heater when we slept in the garage behind Adam’s Peanuts. We enjoyed our 3 and half hours with them, but it was definitely surreal trying to wrap our minds around the fact that we were going west and heading for home! We
